Fame, Money & Fortune: Social Media

The greatest strength of social media is its democratizing tendency. We don't need anyone to tell us about ourselves. We can actually communicate with each other whenever we want. Close to 80% of all content on Social media is generated by 10% of the users.  That 10% are most social on most social issues. They are the local fringe. When you have a local minority that is perceived as the majority the rest will actually self silence or we will actually go along to get along. Just because we don't want to feel left out.

Most times most of the likes on Social media are made by bots. So trusting has become a major issue nowadays because one minute you're talking to someone and the next you don't want to see their face because you fell out of love or some shit. In the end, you're just worried about what others might think about you. Are you even slightly worried about what you think about yourself?

My Workplace Dilemma

I have a seat right next to you, 
I don't want to be anywhere else now.
Other than right here, right now. 
I am falling into the abyss, you won't be able to save me. 
I've all but consumed my burning candle.
I have yet more to give, more than ever before, are you ready?

I am melting inside, drop by drop.
I'm your vessel, you'll have me soaring through highs and lows. 
I will be yours and only yours because it is meant to be this way, you and me. 
Forever together, a fate so eternal it's hard to even see clearly anymore. 

I will cook for you and I will clean for you. 
I will breathe for you, I will sleep for you. 
Is anything even for me or mine anymore?

Never Settle is a Myth

 Now that I'm earning money and my family is comfortably settled in my hometown Kolkata, I alone toil at my workday day in and day out. It is very hard for me to believe that there are still people out there hankering for marks at some teacher's desk saying their parents will hit them hard with a chappal if they don't pass and these kids will mostly be boys because I think most girls pass in school with flying colors. Kudos to my my above par learning capabilities coupled with a self made mindset to achieve all my goals till my dreams become a living reality. 

In the past few years, I have not met a soul yet who didn't say that their dream car is Ferrari, I recently saw a video that claimed that if I stop smoking cigarettes right about now I could buy my dream car at 40! Which being a Ferrari means that I will have to quit smoking. A very hard habit to quit as a young adult in today's world. I now am 5 feet 2 inches of pure  unadulterated joy that fills my lungs with every clear breath I breathe. 

I have ditched this vice now or I might realize I have a funny feeling in my lungs one day. No one ever wants to look like the guy on the box I'm sure.
